BCIT January/April 2019 Intake Discussion

Published

Hey everyone, I know the BCIT January 2019 admission deadline is still a ways to go but I just wanted to know how many people are planning to apply, and also exchange some advice and questions with each other.

First off, I'd like to show you what I am applying with:

Highschool reqs

Precalc 12 - 99

CHEM 11 - 86

UNI reqs (UBC)

ENG112 - 74 (B)

PSYC101 - 72 (B)

CPSC - 86 (A)

STAT - 82 (A-)

A&P1 - TBD

A&P2 - TBD

I'm taking A&P in the Summer

experiences

- senior home (occupational therapy) volunteer

- first aid volunteer

- pharmacy assistant volunteer

Here are my questions:

Does BCIT determine your GPA based on your own university's grading scale? Or their own? And also, I'm not too sure about how to calculate GPA, since there are so many different scales online. Can anyone provide an accurate estimate of my GPA?

Does number of hours you've volunteered matter? Or do they consider it by months? Because I don't see a box where you input how many hours in the form.

How strong does my application look so far, and any advice?

The only thing I'm concerned about is that it does say that the people who applied for April will also hear the final status by Oct 31...so you would think they would deal with both at once?

Oh, I was not aware of this! Then yes I suppose it's worth asking which intake people got accepted for

i'm just sitting here pressing refresh...

I applied with a degree in Biology and work experience as a tutor, at a care home, and a work-study in an osteoporosis clinic. My prerequesite GPA is in the 80s but my cGPA is low 70s, so I'm thinking that might be what's done me in.

wow you seem very qualified. Maybe that haven't gotten to all the applicants yet.

Tbh with what you have, you are well-qualified!!

I believe that all of us who got shortlisted, have decent, related experiences and a competitive GPA.

I'm hoping that we all did well on the quiz >.

Hoping we all hear back today, or we might break that refresh button soon.

I hate the waiting game argh! Just wish I knew either way

I am pretty sure those who's application status hasn't changed won't be accepted...

My awful week has gotten exponentially worse.

Noooo don't say that, because even people heard the Monday after the weekend that they got accepted for last year's intake! It's only 2 pm as well, so don't lose hope yet (obviously easier said than done but yenno, let's not crush everyone's dreams all at once now LOL)

My friend got accepted on the 31st. I'm hoping for a miracle lol

Anyone get accepted for the April term yet?
